Power Output Diagnostic Mode

There is a Power Output Diagnostic Mode in the Multi-Function Alarm Module that can be used to run a quick check on the operation of the Courtesy Lamps Control and Inadvertent Power Control outputs. It is activated after all of the following actions have been performed:
^ Close all of the doors.
^ Set the Park Brake.
^ Turn the Ignition Switch to the RUN position, and before 15 seconds pass, perform these steps:
- Open the RH Front Door.
- Cycle the Headlamp Switch from the OFF to the PARK position three times.

During normal operation (no trouble found), the Multi-Function Alarm Module will flash the interior lamps until the Ignition Switch is turned to the OFF position. In the event an internal short is found in the Multi-Function Alarm Module, the module will chime as follows:
A. One chime every three seconds - Inadvertent output failure.
B. Two chimes every three seconds - Courtesy output failure.
